This series has been about my Metis history, which is reflected here in blue florals influenced by the style of beadwork and Christi Belcourt. The other part of me is reflected in a bright yellow sunflower.
Just before I began this painting, I had something else in mind and then the war in Ukraine erupted. I saw the horrors of war that have plagued my people happening once again. My Grama was born in a part of Ukraine now occupied by the Russian army. I wanted to celebrate the vibrant, tough and undefeatable people which make up both sides of my family tree. I am represented as a young green tree, growing out from the center of the sunflower.
The eleventh painting in my collection, Otipemisewak. Otipemisewak means 'the people who own themselves' and nothing captures that more than having the courage to bloom no matter where you're planted.
Info
A canvas print is a reproduction of an original painting. Each one is a high quality archival product made one at a time by a local small business. It comes wired and ready to hang. The edges are wrapped with the image of the painting (as seen in photos) and framing is not required.
Size
You can choose between thin (3/4" deep) or thick (1 1/2" deep) canvases. A deeper canvas stands out from the wall more. Larger canvases (16 x 20 and bigger) benefit from the extra stability of a deeper canvas.
Time
Each item is made just for you. Expect a wait time of 2-3 weeks for your item to be made before it is shipped out.
